For Climate Week NYC, the Bronx River Alliance and Save the Sound are hosting a free evening at the Bronx River House in Starlight Park — a building tour, a documentary, and a panel about bringing an urban river back to life.
- What: a tour of the LEED-certified Bronx River House, then a screening of Save the Sound’s “Reconnected,” a documentary on river restoration and dam removal, followed by a Q&A with expert practitioners on the intersection of restoration and climate resilience.
- When: Thursday, Sept. 24, 6–8 p.m.
- Where: Bronx River House in Starlight Park, 1490 Sheridan Blvd., Bronx.
- Cost: free, but registration is required — sign up through the Bronx River Alliance website, linked from the NYC Parks listing.
Starlight Park’s 17 acres hug the Bronx River, and the River House is the home base of the Bronx River Alliance, the group behind decades of work restoring the borough’s river — which makes a screening about dam removal and river health feel native to the room. Climate Week’s global stage meets a genuinely local story, and the ticket price is zero.
